Help Please...messed up imac Leopard OS 10.5.8. Lost all my mail and somehow am half in Cloud before realizing. How do I recover all? PLEASE HELP ASAP as I am 74 yrs old and NOT a techie.

I do not know where to start since I am unable to retrieve any mail and somehow, am half in and half out of Cloud. Don't kow what that is but am not so sure I want this at the moment. I simply wish to retrieve everything I cannot access. In other words, I want my old system back. PLEASE, can someone help. I don't know how I will be able to read answers since I do not have email at the moment. Can it be seen on this site? My system is an upgraded Leopard OS X, 10.5.8. What a mess. Can someone please guide me back? Thanks.
Linda

For starters, I don't know why iCloud, if that's what this is, should be at all available. It's meant to run on OSX 10.7/Lion and shouldn't be running on Leopard.
If it's not iCloud, is it a cloud service of some kind offered by your email provider? You'd really have to contact them to sort this out.
If that's not it, I really don't know what to tell you, since I don't understand what happened either.

Hello, HenryWang2103.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The Safari, Email and Notes applications are native to the iOS and is unable to be deleted. Since this is the case, they are either in a folder on the iPhone, on another page or Restrictions are enabled. You can also search for these Apps on the iPhone by touching the screen and sliding your finger down. Here is some information regarding these features. The information about folders is located in the user guide below.

Mail and Notes won't enable in Mavericks

Ok so here's what happened. My "Send to iOS" in Maps wasn't showing up. So I followed the steps to get it to appear. I turned iCloud off and back on. After turning it back on I noticed my Mail and Notes were not activated.
Mail tells me:
"Your iCloud Mail account could not be enabled.
Try enabling Mail again."
and Notes tells me:
"Notes can't be enables at this time.
Wait a moment and then try turning on Notes again."
Someone please help me figure this out. These two apps are a big part of my life.

Ok so don't ask me how, but they just started working this morning.

Mail and Notes

My home email is RoadRunner which is not compatible with the iPhone at all .. tho there was a time when I could at least get my emails even tho I couldnt reply .. its a RoadRunner/ATT snafu over security. Then the incoming stopped and I decided I didnt need it, I have Gmail and my office's email, so I deleted it from the iPhone but didnt delete it from the iTunes iPhone Info page ... of course when I synched it reappeared so I deleted it from the iTunes Info page .. and lost all my NOTES .. a call to Apple Help resulted in me restoring a previous back up but not the Notes .. the Apple Tech seemed positive Mail and Notes are not linked .. well they are .. delete one and the other goes .. there should be some sort of warning, dont you think?
Tonite I am going to try TimeMachine and see if I can get back what I lost .. if I cant I have learned a valuable lesson .. never delete!!!!
Has this happened to anyone else .. if so did using a back up from TimeMachine restore the lost info?

I can't type with Chinese Input Methods in Mail and Notes

Today I suddenly can't type/input any word or character in Mail and Notes
when the input method switches to any Chinese input method like Zhuyin, Yahoo KeyKey and Bopomofo.
Even the cursor won't move when I press the " ↑↓←→"
The keyboard just doesn't work from " ` " to "→" when it comes to Chinese input methods.
However,
the keyboard works well as soon as I switch to English input method and I can type English in Mail and Notes.
I can type with any Chinese input methods in Chrome, TextEdit, Reminder, iPhoto, Contacts,......etc..
Is there something wrong with Mail and Notes?
Could anyone help me solve the problem?
Thank you!

Thank you, Tom.
I have posted my issue there and hope for the best
btw,
I had the same problem (cannot input any word and move the cursor with Chinese input methods) in Evernote.
Evernote Support helped me solve it.
Here is how it works (for Evernote only).
Ticket # 16051-XXXXX
We believe that reinstalling the latest Mac version may address the issue that you reported. Please perform the following steps:
Quit Evernote from the elephant icon in the Menu Bar
Drag the Evernote application to the system Trash
Reboot your Mac
Download and install the latest version of the Mac client:
http://www.evernote.com/about/download/get.php?file=EvernoteMac
When you open the download, make sure to drag the Evernote icon into the Applications folder instead of running it from within the installer package.
Eject the disk image and delete the installer file before you runEvernote.
Let us know how this works for you.
Thank you.

My question is to anyone that can help..I downloaded 2-300 photos on my iPad and want to reload a few hundred more. The last time I did this I lost the first batch of photos I loaded a week before. How do I just add without losing what is already on iPad?

You need to add the new photos to the ones that are currently on the iPad and (re-)sync them all - only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad, not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from the iPad (as you've found out).
You can use third-party apps such as Simple Transfer which can copy photos to the Photos app via your wifi network, but they will only go into the Saved Photos/Camera Roll album, and not into a 'proper' album.

Mail and notes request an icloud email address

Although I have set up an iCloud account a while ago I have yet not been using it.
After installing OS X 10.8.2 and IOS 6 on my MBA and iDevices I decided to have a look at iCloud.
I logged on iCloud .com and accessed to the main window. All but Mail and Notes were working.
Those two are asking me to provide an iCloud.com valid email address.
I do have a "me.com" email account, but it does not take it as it forces an icloud.com extension.
If I try to create an icloud address it refuses it as it says it's already being used.
I really do not understand the problem I am facing.
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong, and help me have iCloud up and running.
Thanks In advance

Thank you for your help.
I start to understand the issue. My iCloud account is [email protected]
I did what you suggested and logged into iCloud with my "me.com" email adress. And Mail and Notes did launch. The issue is that I do not use this account in my everyday work.
Does that mean that iCloud Mail and Notes request an 'me.com' address to work. That seemms strange and confusing since the other services do accept the 'orange.fr' address.
Is there a workaround? I should not be the only one using iCloud with my Internet provider address.
Looking forward to reading your suggestions.
Thanks

Mail and Notes problems in Mavericks

I've just installed Mavericks and I'm instantly having problems with Mail and Notes. To wit:
1) Prior to the upgrade, I had dozens of messages flagged. Now, almost no messages show up as flagged.
2) Some Smart Mailboxes now only display only a handful of messages, when before the upgrade some of those boxes contained dozens, if not hundreds of messages.
3) Now that Notes has been separated from Mail (I skipped Mountain Lion altogether) I can't get my iCloud notes to sync to the new app.
Any guesses or advice?
Thank you,
Jeff

Hello Oskar98,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when importing video from your camera into iMovie. I was not sure of the exact steps you took to import the video footage, and I wanted to provide the steps to confirm you are following all the steps.
Try importing the footage from your camera by clicking on the link that refers to your camera type and following the steps in the related article:
To create movies in iMovie, you must import (transfer) your video footage from your camera to your Mac. You can import from most types of cameras, including:
iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch
File-based cameras
Tape-based cameras
You can find additional information about importing at the following link:

Mail and Notes stopped working on my Macbook after 10.8.5 upgrade iOS7 upgrade

Hello
I recently upgraded my system to 10.8.5.
I also recently upgraded my 2 iphones to iOS7.
Then i found out my Notes were not syncing on my macbook pro, but the sync works fine on both iphones and when i check the iCloud website, they are also updated.
Then mail also stopped working and after reading some posts on this forum, i understand that mail and notes are somehow connected (both using IMAP?)..
I can't configure my iCloud email account on the mail app, i get a "iCloud IMAP « p03-imap.mail.me.com » not responding" answer, whatever i do. I tried deleting the account, deleting all entries linked to the mail app in the keychain, changing my iCloud password to match new apple password requirements.... nothing works.
And all my other email accounts don't work anymore either. Mail just won't connect with any Imap or Pop server.
My internet works fine, I can access all those emails account via webmail interfaces.
Again, my iCloud works fine on all other iOS7 devices.
What's the problem??
Thanks
jk

Mail.
Hold down the option key and go to Finder/Go, then select your User Library. Select Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.

I have an 8GB ipod touch and suddenly I'm able to access only the "sent" mailbox of Mail and not the other mailboxes. I turned on and off. I connected it to MacBook but still I can't access the other mailboxes.

- Try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Can you access the mail on another device?

Cannot activate iCloud Mail and Notes

Hello,
I just bought a new 13" Retina MacBook Pro with Mavericks. I set up my iCloud account and everything works except Mail and Notes.
Do you have any idea on how to fix this really annoying bug?

Migrated from @me.com (when iCloud was released). I tried to disconnect/reconnect and log in with @me.com. No success so far.

I have apple id but i not have password. Im lost my e-mail and im not remember security question and answer.

i have apple id but i not have password. Im lost my e-mail and im not remember security question and answer. I restore factory to days a go in my iphone 4s and must activate. what im must doing? in my phone is find my phone is on

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
